A great white shark shocked two Massachusetts paddleboarders as it swam just feet away from the two friends enjoying their Fourth of July evening on the water. College students Margaret Bowles and Maddie Cronin were paddling in the waters off Woods Hole on the southwest end of Cape Cod when they saw the predator’s estimated 8-inch fin.

Two teens were taking a photo while paddleboarding off the Cape. They didn't realize a shark entered the picture.

Two Cape Cod paddleboarders are still processing a Fourth of July scare on the water off Woods Hole. Margaret Bowles and Maddie Cronin were roughly 100 yards off shore near Stoney Beach in Falmouth Friday before sunset. They decided to bring their phones out to take pictures. Bowles said she saw something pop up next to Maddie’s board.
